Though Christopher Columbus’ actual birthday is October 12, it is observed this year on October 14 as a Monday holiday.
Columbus was a trailblazing pioneer — a daring explorer who lifted the world’s horizons and inspired others. He charted the way to the new world.
Born in Genoa, Italy as Cristoforo Columbo (1451-1506) Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America in 1492 is considered the greatest exploration in recorded history.
